Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
