Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
