We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
