We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
