The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
