Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
