It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
