The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on 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 time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
