Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report 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. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built 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 piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
