Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
