It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
