The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
