Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
