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

We examine the entire structure 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 check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
