What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
