If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
