Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
