Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in 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 how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
