The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
