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

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
