It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need 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 household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
