The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
