This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
