Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
