The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
