The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
