The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
