We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
