Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
