It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
