It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
