This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
