This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
