This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
