We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
