Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
