Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
