It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
