This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed 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 has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
