The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
