The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
