It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
