The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
