Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
