What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
