The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
