What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
