We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
