This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
