Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
