If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
