This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
