We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
