Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

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 are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
