It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
