This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
