Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
