This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
