What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
