The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

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 makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
