If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
