This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
