This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
