This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
