Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
