It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
