The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
