It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
