Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
