This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
