If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
