Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
