If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
