We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
