This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
