It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
