It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
