If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
