This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
