The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
