We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
