The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
