We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
