It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
