Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
