It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
