If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
