Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
