The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
