Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew 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: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
