The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
