We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
