What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
