Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
