This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
