We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
