This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
