What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
