It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
