If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
