It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
