This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
