This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
