It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
