Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
