Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
