It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
