We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
