Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
