The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
