Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
