What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
