What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting 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 an certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
