This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
