This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
