It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
