This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
