We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
