Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
