This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
