It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
