It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with 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 home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
