Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
