This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major 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 in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
