Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
