The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
