It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
