If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
