We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
