The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Melrose building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
