What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are 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 pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
