This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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 has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
