Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a 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 will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
