This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
