This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
