What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
