Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
