It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
