It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
