Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
