We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
