The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
