If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
