This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
