It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
