The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
