This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
