It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
