This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
