The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
