It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
