The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred 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 house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
