Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
