Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
