Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may 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 from an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
