Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
