If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
