The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
