This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
