This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
