The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
