It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
