The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth 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, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
