Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
