It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Highbury building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
