This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
