The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
