The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
