Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
