Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues 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 to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
