The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
