The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
