It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
