This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
