We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
