This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
