It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
