This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with 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 issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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