The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
