This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
