Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
