We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
