We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
