The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
