This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
