We will conduct an exhaustive inspection of your property and provide you with a fair as well as sincere comprehensive written building report, complete with photographs of any problem areas to give you assurance that the home that you purchase will be of the standard you expect.

Our thorough inspection by an Melrose building inspector usually lasts between one and half and two hours at the site. But, we will allow maximum of two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Melrose. This is followed by a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are thorough but easy to comprehend in an effort to provide you with as much information as imaginable about your possible new home. You put yourself in a better position to negotiate when you are completely informed to make informed real estate decisions.

Do not pay too much for an household that’s likely to give you headaches with future problems. We’re aware of where the most frequent problems happen, and will provide professional tips on how to proceed.

Depending on what a home inspection finds the home inspector may allow you use the report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or to make repairs. Even if the report uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a reference to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
