Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
