What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
