Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
