This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed 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.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
