It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
