The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up 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 certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
