What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
