The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

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

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
