Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
