We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
