Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
