This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
