It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
