Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
