What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
