It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
