What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
