What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
