It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
