We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
