Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
