Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
