We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are 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: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
