Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
