Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
