It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
