Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
