The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
