It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
