It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
