It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
