This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
