What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

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

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
