What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
