This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
