It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
