The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
