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

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: 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 products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
