It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
