It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used 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 can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
