Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are 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 your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
