If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
