It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
