It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
