The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
