This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into 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 around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
