Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Melrose building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
