It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
