The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
