We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
