It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
