It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from 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 guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
