It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
