Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
