This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
