The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
