Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
