It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
