What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
