The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
