The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
