What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
