This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
