If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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 search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
