It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
