Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house 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 when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
