We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
