We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting 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 pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
