The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
