Inspect the roof system before buying, especially after rain and before accepting cosmetic repairs.
A fresh ceiling can hide an old leak
Ask an independent inspector to review roof covering, pitch, flashings, valleys, penetrations, gutters, downpipes, waterproofing transitions and safe maintenance access. Inspect ceilings, roof voids and exterior walls for staining, corrosion, mould and patch repairs.
Test after meaningful rain where possible, document moisture readings and trace drainage to a lawful discharge point. Obtain repair scope, warranty and access assumptions before pricing the defect or releasing retention.
Use the tropical inspection guide, rainy-season checks, insurance guide and buyer service.
