We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
