If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Melling building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
