This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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 to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
