Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
