Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
