It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
