Our thorough inspection by the Broadmeadows building inspector usually lasts between one and half hours and two hours on the site. However, we permit a maximum two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections within Broadmeadows. Then, we spend a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough and yet simple to comprehend in an effort to inform you as clearly as possible about your possible new property. You are in a stronger position for negotiation by being fully in the know to make well-informed choices about property.

Based on what an home inspection reveals it is possible to use a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if the report detects minor issues, you can still use it as a guideline for the future maintenance.

What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
