We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
