What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
