It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed 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, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
