This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
