This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
