It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture 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 the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
