The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are 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: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
