It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
