This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
