If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
