We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
