Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
