It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
