What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

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 the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
