Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
