We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
