We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
