What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
