It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
