A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting 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 cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
