The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: 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 a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
