It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
