What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
