Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
