We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
