What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
