Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
