This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
