The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
