The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

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 areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
