This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
