You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house 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 pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
