The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
