What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
