This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.
