It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
