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

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
