Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" 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, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
