The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to 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

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
