The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
