Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
