This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
