The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
