If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Highbury building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
