If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
