Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
