The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
