What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
