Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since 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 the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
