This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
