This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
