This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
