This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
