This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.
