The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
