Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Melling building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search 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 or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
