We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
