The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
