It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
