This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
