It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
