It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
