This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
