If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
