What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
