Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
