We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
