Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: 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 an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
