Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
