What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
