The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
