We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
