Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
