The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
