Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
