This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.
