It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
