It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
