We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
