Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
