Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home 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 piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
