It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building 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 cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
