We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
