If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Broadmeadows building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
