What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
