This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
