Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
