It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
