If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Highbury building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
