We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
