This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
