It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
