This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
