Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
