Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
