If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
