We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
