Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
