This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
