Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
