We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
