Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
