Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
