We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
