If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.
