What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
