We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
