This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
