We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
