An Expert Building & Home Inspection in Melling

Peace of Mind

We will carry out a thorough examination of your home as well as provide you with a fair and sincere detailed written report that includes photos of any problem areas to assure you that the home that you purchase can be described as being of the standard you expect.

Our thorough inspection by the Melling building inspector usually takes between one and a half hours and two hours on the site. However, we allow a maximum two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Melling. This is followed by a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are precise, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible about the potential of your new property. You are in a better position to negotiate in the event that you are completely aware of your options to make educated real estate decisions.

Do not pay too much for an household that’s going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems happen, and will provide professional advice on how you can proceed.

Based on what an house inspection uncovers depending on the findings, you might be able to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller about price or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a reference for future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
