If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
