If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
