The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed 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, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
