Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
