The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
