What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
