What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
