This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
