It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
