Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
