If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
