It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
