Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
