We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
