Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
