What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
