This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
