What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Melling building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
