Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
