It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
