Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: 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 you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
