Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
