This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
