It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
