We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
