We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
