We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
