It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
