This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
