It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
