This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
