If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
