Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, 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 says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
