It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
