If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
