This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
