We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred 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: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
