Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
