It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
