We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
