This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
