It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
