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

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
