What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

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

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
