It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
