Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Melling building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
