What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
