The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
