We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house 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 homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
