Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
