It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
