Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
