It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
