This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
