We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
