It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
