Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
