This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
