What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
