If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melling building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
