This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
