It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
