We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
