What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
