Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
