This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
