What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: 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 in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
