The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
