If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
