The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
