It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
