It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
