This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
