Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
