Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
