This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
