Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is 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 has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
