It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
