What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
