Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
