We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
