Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
