Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
