Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
