The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
