Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
