The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
