The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
