If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with 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 that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
