It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
