We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
