It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
