We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
