It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

Thorough Building Inspections Woodridge

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
