Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
