Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Melrose building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
