We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
