Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Melrose building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
