The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
