It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
