Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Melling building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
