This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and 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: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
