We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
