What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
