This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
