It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
