What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
