The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
