We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
