It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues 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 rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
