Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
