If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
