It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
