This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
