It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
