We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
