It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
