The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
