It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
