The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
