We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
