The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
