This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
