Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
