A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
