This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
