Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to 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 house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
