It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.
