You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
