Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
