We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
