What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
