It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
