It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
