This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
