If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
