This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair 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

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
