The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
