It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.
